Niese, Mets Too Much for Phillies In Rain-Soaked Loss

Fresh off their 6-4 road trip, the Phillies came home to an awful evening at the park; both weather-wise and with their play. Jon Niese shut the Phillies down over seven innings as the Mets won, 6-1, at a rain-soaked Citizens Bank Park.

HAMELS OFF ON BRUTAL NIGHT

-Hamels looked sharp in the firs two innings, then completely fell apart. Six days after a solid start to begin his year in Los Angeles, Hamels allowed six runs on eight hits in just 4 2/3 innings. While velocity did not seem to be a problem, control was. He threw just 55 strikes over 106 pitches. The rain fell very hard, at times, which could have led to the disastrous outing.

-The weather didn’t put a damper on Jon Niese’s evening. He was great – or maybe the Phillies just didn’t want to be there. Niese didn’t allow a hit until Marlon Byrd went yard in the fourth. He kept hitters off balance all night, going seven strong innings in the win.

TOMORROW NIGHT A BRUTAL NIGHT, TOO

-The forecast appears ominous for tomorrow night, which is why they tried like hell to get this one in tonight. And that’s fine, because I’d like to watch Game 7 of the Flyers/Rangers series.

Go Flyers? Aren’t those the guys who use the basketball arena between “Disney on Ice” shows?
When you say “go,” where are they going, New York for a holiday, maybe?
I hope they have a good time – hear theres a great show playing at the Garden.

I kid Flyers fans.
My friend Frank and I helped fill their empty seats back in 1967.
I guess we told too many people about them. Haven’t been able to afford a seat since 1972.

I am tired of seeing this team lay down like dogs whenever Cole Hamels pitches especially when he is not on his game. It happened in LA when he was on his game and now last night and it happens more often than not during the season. If they fall behind, game over. Bats go silent. Not every pitcher that opposes Hamels is Cy Young but they make him look like it. If there is a problem or disconnect between Hamels and the team, then trade him. I don’t think it’s a coincidence or “just baseball” anymore.

Why I’ve never… I, i, alright you got me w, I am the man behind this whole thing, you may think you have stopped me, exposing my plan to turn the team on hamels, you may have saved him for now, but they’re are others you won’t be able to save, the plans are already in motion the wheels are turning, dare I say the Hogey’s are rolling?? Hahahaha
